SU needs to save my relationship tonight...

PrintWhen SU takes the floor tonight to face DePaul, there will be many things at stake for the Orange such as pride, a conference win, and their spot in the top 10. But apparently, according to my girlfriend, a DePaul alum, the relationship between she and yours truly is dependent on the outcome of this game. She is not a Blue Demons fan by any stretch, she can care less about the DePaul sports teams, but when our basketball teams have been getting together recently, she suddenly cares. She based her so called 'wager' on that fateful night nearly three years ago, we had just recently started dating, and SU got absolutely shellacked at DePaul, 108-69. She called me during the game to brag, not a good idea as I was rightfully angry on how that game was going. So after that game I did what any self-respecting SU fan would do after a catastrophic event like that, get hammered and not answer the phone. She will not be near me, or call me during this game. So if the unthinkable happens, and I get angry again, she (jokingly?) said she would call it quits. Don't worry, I wouldn't go Devo on her (does Judicial Affairs jurisdiction stretch to alums in Chicago?).
If we lose and I contain myself, I'll only have to make her some blue demon themed cookies (which I might spit in).

Wow that's cruel
One more reason for us to win. Plus I would miss the pad thai if that happened. But I hope she knows that I will be waiting with open arms for you.
Judicial Affairs knows all
Sees all. I would handcuff yourself to something sturdy if I were you. As a precaution.
Intra-conference dating?
Sounds like a terrible idea.
Find yourself a nice girl that went to Middlebury or Weslyan or some other freaky liberal arts school and all your problems will be solved.
It could be worse
at least she’s not a Hoya, Husky, or Panther. By the way, john thompson sucks, in case anyone hasn’t heard.
Yea about that
I’m dating a girl who went to Pitt. She cares very little about sports, but has enjoyed rubbing their number 1 ranking in my face. I pray that I get the last laugh.
I think you should give her 5 reasons to stop the boasting . . .
SMACK!
Domestic abuse: always worth it (except when it directly impacts basketball success).
I feel your pain
I’ve been dating a passionate Kansas fan for over a year now. Meaning I had to suffer through their championship run in March while SU farted through the NIT, and she had to suffer through our win at KC in November. She also has to suffer through my 2003 championship poster every time she comes into my room (the first time we ever met, at a party, she stopped speaking to me when she found out I was from Syracuse). On the whole I’m winning this one, but it’s a source of strife almost every day during basketball season. They breed ’em hard core in Rock Chalk land.
Still good
It was a relatively drama free night, but I did get one “I hate you” comment (that’s about the norm everyday actually). As a parting shot on the phone I said “G’ ORANGE” but of course she wouldn’t get my Warrick reference, I just like to crack myself up.
So until next season when we will actually get to go to the game together when the Orange pay a visit to Chicago Rosemont, we are safe from any disputes related to basketball.
unless
there is a remote chance that we play again in the BE tourney.
I forgot that the De Paul would be allowed to come to New York for a few hours this year.
